Project for a monumental fountain

Antoni Gaudí was a Catalan architect. His work is unusual and difficult to classify. It initially followed the precepts of Catalan modern style but evolved towards a marked functionalism with rationalist concessions.
This drawing, a project for a monumental fountain in Plaça Catalunya, is an exercise from his student years at the Barcelona School of Architecture. The drawing observes the neo-historicist aesthetic that was taught at the time.
